| 1 | Cold Turkey | 1992 | Diane Mott Davidson | Buy |
“Cold Turkey” is Diane Mott Davidson’s short fiction contribution to a 1992 mystery anthology, published the same year as her second Goldy Schulz novel, Dying for Chocolate. The story fits within the same culinary mystery framework Davidson built across her novel series, with Goldy’s world of catering and Colorado small-town crime providing the backdrop.
Short fiction gave Davidson a chance to tell a contained story within Goldy’s universe without the full arc of a novel. Readers familiar with the series will find the tone and character voice consistent with the longer books.
For those working through Davidson’s full bibliography, “Cold Turkey” is a minor but enjoyable addition, best read after getting acquainted with the Goldy Schulz novels.
